Captain of the Ghana national team, Andre Ayew has disclosed that players are ready for the clash against Portugal on Thursday.
Although the attacker insists no player is stressed ahead of the game, he admits that the team will be under pressure when the clash kicks off tomorrow.
Recounting the last meeting in the 2014 World Cup, Andre Ayew said, “The two teams have changed a lot since then. It is a different game, when we played them in 2014 we had to win by two goals to advance.
"It is not the same game, or the same moment, it is completely different. Every game has its own realities and we will try to give them a tough time.”
The Ghana captain added, "We all know in these big tournaments there are surprises that can happen, we just need to be ready. I don’t feel anyone is stressed or has anxiety before the game.
"I am sure when the game comes there will be pressure, if you don't feel it, you are not human."
Ghana’s Group H opener against Portugal is scheduled to kick off at 16:00GMT on Thursday.
